Connecting the RS-232 Port
You can connect to the VS-88FO using an RS-232 connection using, for example,
a PC. Note that a null-modem adapter/connection is not required.
To connect to the VS-88FO using RS-232:
Connect the RS-232 9-pin D-sub rear panel port on the VS-88FO to the
RS-232 9-pin D-sub port on your PC. Use a 9-wire straight cable (only pin
2 to pin 2, pin 3 to pin 3, and pin 5 to pin 5 need to be connected)

Determining the Machine Number
Each unit must be identified by a unique machine number (MACH #). Determine
the machine number
according to the following table.
When using a single unit, set the unit to Machine # 1.
A master unit must be Machine #1.
When connecting more than one VS-88FO, set a different Machine # for each unit.
The units do not have to be numbered sequentially but each unit must have a
unique machine number.
